I have just finished the program. It has not been bad at all, at least it has been a lot better than last week… you always learn. For now, this is what I can say I should have learnt…:

>A friend of mine wants to pay his phone bill monthly but they are not letting him to do so. Why? Because he is a bl**dy foreigner. I guess they ave asked him how long he has been living here and since he has not been here more than 3 years, they have refused him as a customer. Why did they offered this to him in the first place?
Underground
I had to get on the tube today because there was such a big jam. It may have been half a year since I last used it. For non frequent users, the first thing that strikes is the obscene amount of advertising present everywhere, at least once you pass the barrier gates.
Music Industry and Politics. I
I very much liked and enjoyed the talk from the lady from the music industry in this Country. From a children’s play:
– I see, I see
– what do you see?
– I see a thing
– And what thing is that?
Anniversary
Many and very varied things have happened since I came to this Country 10 years ago. According to different witches and other friends, my personality has radically changed various times. Just in the first year I had my first job, I was sacked because I was useless, and before two weeks, I got a new one where my abilities were venerated – doing the same thing.

Not long ago, a friend explained to me the fact that, although technology nowadays allows to transfer my recorded two hours from my minidisk on to the computer in 20 seconds, the corporations that make such technology do not want to allow anyone to do this.
Ben III
I can start and never stop. I have to choose yet another theme for my last article for my ‘journalism’ teacher. I had a list of possible subjects, but last Friday I could only remember the G8. He is great in distorting what people say, at least what I tell him – will it be this why he is a ‘good journalist’?

Road protest was at its hight in the late nineties in Britain. A loose network of activists, under the banner “Earth First!”, was one of the catalysts. There were groups using such banner all over Britain, although the one in London chose to use “Reclaim the Streets” instead.
“Reclaim the streets” had a contact telephone number that around announced actions often became saturated. The media attention, though, was focused mainly in their hairstyles and extravagances, and not on the issues these activists were defending.
Virtually every person ever involved in Indymedia will tell a different story of how it began.
